Lots of words to repeat this … “ Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something.
Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.
Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about “meritocracy” and the salutary effects of hard work.
Poor kids aren’t visiting the carnival. They’re the ones working it.”
Maybe the author is just figuring things out, but for many nothing in the article is new.
It walks on top of well trodden planks built by many others.
The title is misleading (there's been plenty of telling) and worse it's a lame knock off tabloid headline where the grift is to imply you're a dupe and they're helping you by giving you access "to the one thing they hat" or any headline that traffics in they v. you where they withhold vital info.
Heck watch avalon which is one of 29 million movies dealing with generational wealth.
